it rained pretty much all night. my tent stakes didn't stay put in the soggy ground and my tent went slack and let a little water in, but not much. my new sleeping pad seemed to stay full all night long, and because of it's thickness neither my sleeping bag nor i got wet.

long day today. i'm going to keep this brief. we made it to elkton around 10. it rained on and off on the way there. when we got to town it was a pretty nice day, but we could see that the tops of the mountains were enshrouded in rain clouds.

i'm not going to bother to check the weather anymore because i can't actually predict what the weather will be based on the forecast. the weather called for a 20% chance of less than a tenth of an inch. it actually rained most of the day, at times pretty hard.

we woke around 07:00 and went to the quality inn's complimentary breakfast. it was pretty good. we returned to the hotel room and started packing up. bugs climbed back in bed.
